About 20 or more years ago the Oly paper was called The Daily Olympian -then they changed it to The Olympian but everyone still calls it the Daily Zero EVEN IF THEY DON'T KNOW WHY.

Enjah Mysterio says: In North Tonawanda, NY where we used to live there was a local paper everyone referred to as the Tonawanda Fishwrap. I think it was the Tonawanda News.

The Stranger is the Seattle free paper similar to the Village Voice. Once they printed the masthead The Stragner on purpose - because that's what everyone calls it.

Violet Faulds says: Our local newspaper in Newport Beach (where I grew up) was called the Daily Pilot (still is, actually). Everyone called it the Daily Plot.

Lucy Torpedo says: Here we have the Valley Snooze (Valley News) and the Woodstock Substandard (The Woodstock Standard).
